Produktbeschreibung
A first-person account of a young English girl coming of age during WWII. Joy Beebe describes what it was like to live and work in England during the blitz, enduring what seems an eternity of frightening bomb raids, sleeping under a table, and watching London burn. Yet, even in the midst of war, love can be found. Twenty-two-year-old Joy meets and marries American soldier, Carl Beebe, who is stationed with the US Army Signal Corps at Bletchley Park. The wedding took place in a bombed-out church. Where did her wedding gown and cake come from? Best not to ask. With the end of the war, they leave Britain--and all Joy ever knew--behind. Traveling first by troop ship, then by train, the couple arrives in Salem, Oregon with $10 to their name and a two-year-old son to begin their life in America.
